Spring Skincare: Face Mask Favorites

GlamGlow Flashmud Brightening Treatment - I got really into face masks before my wedding last year and this one was my absolute favorite. I ran out of it the week of the wedding and made a special trip to Sephora to pick it up so that I could use it the night before. It's a great exfoliator to get rid of all of the dead skin. I especially love to use it after a night of wearing a good amount of make up, because I feel like it really takes everything off and leave me with a fresh face. It has little beads in it that you can really feel are scrubbing your face.

Herbivore Brighten Instant Glow Mask - This has been another favorite of mine for the last year. Even my sister loves this brand and mask and she's extra picky about what goes on her skin. It is really light to put on and goes on almost clear. As it dries, it begins to harden, but doesn't feel too stiff on the face. It almost feels like it's filling in your wrinkles. This mask really leaves your face feeling fresh and bright while also evening out your skin tone. I love to use this one right after taking off the Glam Glow mask above to leave my face feeling extra fresh.

Patchology Flash Patch Lip Gels - These gels have saved my lips. I originally received these as a gift last year (thanks Daniele!) and they quickly became a fan favorite. I've suffered from the most dry lips over the past year and have tried everything possible to add back hydration. These are one of the few products that you can see the results right away. My lips really feel more hydrated, soft, and plump after using these.

Shiseido Ibuki Beauty Sleeping Mask - I've talked about this product before on the blog, but I'd be remiss not to talk about it as one of my favorite masks. I discovered this product about a year ago when I was on the search for a really hydrating night cream. This product is magic. It goes on your skin really light, but in a gel form. It feels really refreshing and leaves my skin super soft by morning. I use this product almost every night before bed. It absorbs into the skin really quickly and does not feel sticky at all. I hate those heavy night creams that you can feel on your face all night and feel like your skin is still wet and sticking to your pillow and this mask doesn't give you that feeling.

Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask - My last two mask favorites are from one of my favorite brands - Peter Thomas Roth. You really can't go wrong with almost all of their products. I love this mask, especially in the summer. It has a way of detoxifying the face without feeling drying. My skin is super sensitive and this product is able to give me a fresh, clean face without irritating. This is also great to keep in the fridge in the summer to really de-puff your face!

Peter Thomas Roth Lift & Firm Hydra-Gel Eye Patches - There is a reason that these eye patches have such amazing reviews. These eye patches have a really nice cool feeling when applied. This is another mask that I used the night before my wedding, because I just love the results. These gels are quite pricey, but totally worth it. I only use them about once a week so one tub of these has lasted me 6 months!

Happy Wednesday! Half way to the weekend and it's already been a long week. We've had dreary weather in Chicago which is making me long for the summer sunshine! I've linked a few other skincare favorites below.
